Yes call what I just mentioned insane! I recently emailed a ballroom dance studio owner to inquire about employment as a teacher, on the drop down section where I applied I clicked on the box that read 'no experience'. She contacted me and wants to meet with me this coming week. I am a 50 year old female in basically good health with some dance experience from many years ago including ballet lessons for a short time as a child. I never was considered a clutz or of having two left feet.
It would be wonderful to hear from other teachers who got their start being general novices. I would love to hear your stories
